This volume contains contributions of these two workshops, The 1980 workshop in Strasbourg was partitioned into 6 topics : (1) Application of Nets to Realtime Systems, (2) Programming Languages and Software Engineering, (3) Information Flow and Concurrency, (4) Net Morphisms and High Level Petri Nets, (5) Mathematical Analysis and N et Languages, (6) Reliability and Recovery Issues, In this volume, the chairman of each topic gives a short introduction to his area whict should help to understand its specific problems and to in troduce the presented papers,
